Informativeness of polarization measurements in determining microphysical parameters of native erythrocyte populations

Abstract

The efficiency of polarized and nonpolarized radiation for determining microphysical parameters of native erythrocyte populations has been studied. On the basis of using regression relations between determined and measured parameters of native erythrocyte populations, possibilities of the simultaneous rapid determination of their average volume and average surface area, which can be used as a new diagnostic erythrocytometric parameter, are demonstrated.
